Love it!

I bought this mixer for my home studio. Having the direct outs on a board of this quality at this price point is what attracted me to it! I like having the hands on, front end, analog control before running the direct outs into my Focusrite 18i20 interface. It is a versatile, quality product and will be the workhorse centerpiece of my desk for many years to come!
Thank you TJ, Sweetwater is at the top with customer service!

Solid Choice

This board was recommended by a good friend who has over 40 years in the business. What he called a good little board. I'm still on a bit of a learning curve with creating the effects I'm looking for and need to put a little more time into it. The sound is extremely clean and a vast improvement over any board I've owned in the past. The Lexon effects and pre amps are top notch. My problem is that there is so many effects to choose from and tweak that I just haven't had enough time to dial in what works best for me. I will get there. If your looking for what I'm calling a great little board Soundcraft FX16ii is the way to go.

SoundCraft EFX 20 channel

I have performed and ran sound for 30+ years, Bought this EFX 20 Channel, and ran thru a DBX Drive Rack and JBL 535 powered speaker columns in 5000+ seat indoor arena, . Sound reproduction was breath taking . The "Cleanest board" I have EVER Experienced, and very well bilt.

Size doesn't always matter

I forgot to mention, I have been a Sweetwater customer for years now and their sales engineers are top drawer. My rep, Alan Carter is always spot on with his advice and knowledge. I trust him explicitly.

The shipping is bullet fast and always packed unbelievably well.

I have owned 2 different commercial recording studios, played guitar since 1964 and produced 2 number one hits on internet music sites so I do know a little of what I am saying.

I have no other affiliation with Sweetwater other than being a devoted customer for life.

Size isn't always what matters

I bought this board to use with a single 8 track ADAT. For this purpose or any type 8 track recorder it can't be beat. It has everything you could ask for.

Extreme quiet headroom in the mic pre's , a very musical and effective true "British EQ" , 16 direct out and 16 line in's so you can feed the 8tracks with the direct outs on channels 1-8 and fold them back in for mixdown on channels 9-16. Very intuitive signal routing, incredible amount of aux's and outputs.
The 100 mm faders are articulate and responsive.
The 24 bit Lexicon built in effects are top quality and adjustable as well as storable.

The only shortcomings I can find are it might of had the headphone output jack located in the front or somewhere other than straight out of the top. Your hand can hit it when moving from right to left or vice versa . I cured that by using a 90 degree adapter though.

If Soundcraft made a 16 channel meter bridge so one could monitor each channel individually , that would have been nice also.

At this price point I don't think you could ask for more from any 16 channel console.

Carson McClain

The new "go-to" live sound board for churches, small venues, and live bands. If you can't find the brand you are used to, the Soundcraft is the way to go. Direct outs, FX, 4 aux sends, 16 mic pres, it just has everything. This board has a ton of great features that a professional or an apprentice can utilize at anytime.
